The stendis preferably formed of metal end comprises e top in the form of e ring A of engleiron, or other suitable materiel, one tlange of which extends vertically and the other horizontally, es shown. Legs a ere rivetedA to the interior fece of the ven tical iienge, being formed on their lower ends with outwardly curved feet, suitable to afford the support desired. Cross pieces, or a are provided :it he point e dis tence lie-lon the ring1 fi Where they will efoid e support for the receptacle. They ei;- tend from a` leg1 on one side to the opposite leg; and lire riveted to both and also are riveted together it the point Where they cross, es shown, thus providing e very rigid structure and at the sume time a support- -upon Whichthe bottom oi' the receptacle may rest. A cover A is hinged to one side or the. ring on a. pintle @Zend is adapted to close down tightly upon the top surface of ring A. An erin aa is. riveted to seid cover immedietely above said hinge extending upwardly et en angle so that its upper end overhnngs seid hinge slightly. A. foot-lever l2 is ivot-ed et one end as at at, to the toot of one of the legs a immediately beneath the hinge a2 and is connected to the erm es ley,

a eonnectingrod A3 es shown. lever A2 is ni'ched between the end which is pivoted end 'the tree-.d t5 formed on its outer end and isi'orined of n single piece ot round iron, or Wire, of suitable size, doubled et the outer end or treed and its inner end having its points turned inward to engage en eye in the toot of leg,` a to form e hinge at at. i plete au is mounted on the two parts of seid lever e suitable point and provided with en eye i With which the lower end of rod A connects.
